Sunshine in the Heart

Representative Text

1 I’ve found a balm for ev’ry woe,
That bids my fears depart!
I’m happy now since Jesus sheds
His sunshine in my heart.

Chorus:
Sunshine! sunshine!
Let it in your heart!
Sunshine! sunshine!
Drive the clouds apart!
Jesus smiles above you,
Bids your cares depart;
Ask him, and he’ll give you
Sunshine in your heart.

2 Speak kindly to the little ones,
Don’t let them drift apart;
The Savior loves them and he’s shed
His sunshine in their heart. [Chorus]

3 Be helpful to the aged ones,
Who often sit apart,
And ask the blessed Lord to shed
His sunshine in their heart. [Chorus]

4 When earthly friends are called away,
How sorrow’s tears will start;
The Lord has triumphed over death,
Let sunshine in your heart. [Chorus]

5 To those who’ve wander’d far from God,
Your Savior’s love impart;
Your life will shine, your face will glow,
He’s sunshine in your heart. [Chorus]
